Best Answer

Yes, up to a point all Glass windows block some degree of UV, incidentally normal (not sunglass type) eyeglasses block from 75% of available UV which is harmful. This also explains why there are no real Infra-red or UV burn hazards (in normal operation) with Fish tanks which nmay have Infra-red heaters or UV backlighting, the glass absorbs it!
